In this episode, we cover the latest in GLP-1s and GIP agonists for CVD, Type 2 Diabetes, and Obesity, valacyclovir to treat Alzheimer’s, weight regain patterns after medication-induced weight loss, and a deep dive into the data behind deprescribing – and behavioral science to increase deprescribing behavior.  Fill your brain hole with a delicious stack of hotcakes!
